[QUOTE="baptistpreach, post: 68536, member: 832"] Well, who knows what will come of this, but I got an outboard yesterday! [-o< :? I haven't heard it run.... but I only paid $80 for it, so for the time, its riding on a wing and a prayer. Its a '69 Johnson 9.5hp. The guy took the liberty of painting it all black (so it actually will go with my boat quite well) but it is pretty ugly. Right now I'm thinking I should call the motor Darth Vader :P . Anyhow, I know that the "pinion"? isn't working, meaning the recoil spring to cause the rope to pull back in, isn't um.... pulling rope back in. You've probably heard the story before, the guy I bought it from said it was running fine, it just needed _________ (fill in the blank), well in my case the spring, he says he never got around to tinkering with it, and never even tried to start it.
